Though the scene is very vague because it's only dialogue is implied that Erika and Battler went to the church and moved the letters that actived the mechanism as they comment something along the line of 'that's what gouging meant' and they say they heard a click that should have activated a mechanism.
Afterward Battler 'see Kinzo' and then said something along the line of having found the guidepost to the golden land. After this Erika noticed the lion was facing in a different direction and praised him for his observation spirit. |

The reason why she called him a man was because that person was using Ore and eventually Boku as personal pronouns - which, as you probably already know, are first person pronouns used only by males. In addition, why would you use Daisuke Ono's voice for someone who is supposed to sound gender neutral? That's a terrible idea.

And we certainly don't know that anyone solved it on Oct. 4/5-Prime. I don't doubt the solution to the epitaph is correct, but that doesn't mean anyone ever actually did solve it. Indeed, if we take only what was written by the original message bottle author, nothing actually specifically posits that the author even knew the epitaph solution.

Mmm, irrefutable textual evidence that simply cannot be denied? No. The closest thing is Eva surviving in the Kuwadorian in Prime, but even that can be explained with It's possible to walk to the Kuwadorian through the forest, and some Hilarious Explosive Accident™ happened while Eva was out exploring.
Also, because I just have to say it - noone's done a full translation of Our Confessions, right? So I'm just going off the summaries that were provided, wherein the only thing they seemed to CONFIRM were: 1.) Shkanon 2.) Beato's fetish for scantily clad female minions 3.) That Yasu used a LIE about some fake murder game to trick people into positions that let her shoot them in the face |

I can basically think of one thing in the text: Beatrice produces extra gold bars in Turn. However, this by itself doesn't actually prove the author knows the solution to the epitaph, and nobody actually starts breaking it down with any degree of reasoning until Banquet. In both Legend and Turn Beatrice's letter exhorts everyone to solve the epitaph, but there is no evidence that Beatrice herself - or the writer of the tale - actually knows what the solution is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I've probably forgotten about it due to lack of attention and interest, but wasn't the Epitaph actually fairly easy after you get to know what Kinzo's hometown was - along with noticing the quadrillion thing in the chapel? I know figuring out what his hometown is was hard, but his children already knew it, and Yasu got told what it was by Genji.
Anyhow, I was just thinking if Lion's name was a reference to the lion statues at the chapel? Not to mention there's Lion in quadrillion, but I think I'm looking too much into this. It's still a funny coincidence. lol Yasu quad core, with many threads, each for every imaginary friend/role of hers. Okay, I'll stop there. Quote:
Though, I get the impression that's not your point. But do spare me, It's almost 3:30AM and I haven't slept for 2 days. It is not a common thing. They may do it for shits and giggles, but it's very uncommon for a Japanese girl to use Ore or Boku. Those are men's pronouns. Hey. there are a fair bunch of traps out there who look, act and sound like women. I'm yet to see a woman sound like a man - I'm sure there must be, just that I haven't had the pleasure of seeing one. In addition, in anime, it is not particularly uncommon to have women voice males, the opposite, sadly, doesn't happen.

Also, the protagonist of the anime Pandora Hearts is voiced by a female, which is readily apparent, but um...when she sings his character song, she sounds ridiculously male-seeming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcGaVxl_vkI

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they talk about Kinzo's hoemtown in Turn, when they were walking by the beach and trying to tackle the Epitaph?
I remember Shannon telling them she went to Odawara, about nothing being there and that that place wasn't actually Kinzo's hometown. Then pretty much they gave up on it. I still don't know why the cousins never asked their parents what Kinzo's birthplace was. But, all the same, they'd still have missed the quadrillion thing, since they only get to notice it when Beatrice leads them to the chapel. Quote:
Had Will not asked that question, I'd never have figured out Lion was supposed to be ambiguous in terms of sex. Quote:
I'm still waiting for a girl voiced by Ono, Sugita, or even better, Wakamoto.
